There Seems to Be NoEnd

to the constant succession of
new styles, and new ideas in
the manufacture Of corsets.
These endeavors have re-
suited in a marked advance
of the standard of general
excellence. All acknowl-
edge the common aim to be
the combination Of artistic
outline with scientific con-
struction; so that the law Of
beauty should not be violated
on the one hand nor that of
anatomy on the other.
The variation Of human
forms makes it impossible to
make one style Of corsets to
fit all bodies equally we'll.
Recognizing this fact we
selected the 81. c. Corsets"
as being scientifically nearer
perfection than any other
make, and had them made
in different lengths Of busts,
otherwise equally propor-
toned, in order to meet the
requirements of both the
slender and corpulent bodies.
The steady growth in pop
ular favor of these corsets
during the past six years is
substantial evidence that they
have merit, and give entire
satisfaction ; and we would
mention further that many
OF our customers acknowl-
edge they can wear no other
with equal comfort.
We do not conhne our
stock to this corset for the
reason, as intimated above,
that a shape which may fit
one will not necessarily suit
all; consequently, as all cor
sets have more or less merit,
we keep nearly all the reput-
able qualities and shapes.
ranging in price from soc to
$4.S7 per pair.
We will add thatherc you are reason
ably sure of securing satisfactory fit at
satisfactory price.

NEW YORK, Feb 1S.--To-day was another
extremely dull and uninteresting day at the
stock exchange, the total transactions being
the smallest of any day this week. The same
waiting disposition was apparent on the part
of the leaders, and the trading retained its
purely professional character, with even less
inclination on the part OF the traders TO put
out fresh lines: The covering OF shorts put out
during the last few days comprised the bulk of
the business, and only three stocks made
movements of any importance whatever the
fluctuations in the remainder being confined
within the range of less than per cent.
The trading was very DUH and while the
list was generally firm, considerable feyerish-
ness was shown. Advances OF fractional
amounts were. established which were lost
and regained before noon, which operation
